I didn't have enough money for a 1080 Ti so I went with the 1070 (this was towards end of the generation). It's unlikely we'll ever get a card of the same value as the 1080 Ti.
It still does OK at 1080p and is able to hold ~60 FPS with relatively decent 1% lows and this is at Ultra.
With some tweaking you could probably even get it to work OK at 1440p.
Jokes on them, I don't have the money for a monitor nice enough to know the difference.
A 60 FPS FHD monitor (or better yet at 1920x1200) is still a solid enough experience IMO.
Does it have an S-video input?
Does S-Video even support FHD? :)
No it's SD only, you need RGB or YPbPr for analog HD video.
I'm still rocking my evga 1070ti. I only play at 1080p and it still looks great
UE5 exists to obsolete these GPUs
thank god there aren't any games worth getting on UE5
Well, I definitely wouldn't say that. There are games that are good despite UE5.
Yeah, I'm sorry; SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide is GOTY
I had some good times in Dune Awakening on the 1080ti. Solid 45-60fps too. Also some bad times but not the cards fault lol.
Edit: but ya its stupid that the perf is that bad when I can play games from 2005 (freestyle gunz) and get 144 frames locked. UE5 is so poorly optimized it is like 10 tomes worse than what came before
Wouldn't Dune be more CPU bound (on a relative basis compared to most games)? Lots of players on screens, physics calculations and so on...
Possibly. I encountered players pretty rarely though, and normally only fighting 3-5 enemies at once. Lot of sand and particles though.
I only upgraded from my 1080 Ti back in June of this year. It was still doing pretty well at 1440p high settings in many games
My 1080 Ti has been a legend and has carried my last two builds. That 11 GB of VRAM was huge back in 2017 and certainly helped it to remain relevant over the years, particularly since we've seen newer cards with much stronger GPUs and less VRAM struggle lately due to being VRAM limited.
I finally replaced it with a 9070 XT earlier this year, and while this thing buries it in performance and features, I'm questioning if it will see the same kind of longevity my 1080 Ti had since I've a feeling that its 16 GB of VRAM will eventually be what obsoletes it first.
I think the 9070 XT will be fine if you're not on 4K for another 5 years (if not more).
I am on a 3080 and I am planning to stick with it for a new (Zen 6/AM5) build next year. It does all I need it to. I am much more CPU-bound for games and other stuff I do on my PC.
I was hoping to see real world gaming scores
